The last sentence is (mostly) a duplicate of the previous one. Also,
AFAIK VC does not support most Git operations by far (just check the
git(1) manpage and compare the list of commands with what you can do
with VC; I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing, just that the
sentence is not true). Finally, I have no idea what "news merges and
repository syncing" means. I suggest simply removing everything after
"(his kernel).".
